Behringer DDM-4000
Posted on: 03.06.2008 by
Hello folks,

I'd like to know what you all believe about the DDM-4000 mixer (i like the fact that i could use it with traktor)

I'm believeing about buying one to add to my vci-100 but i'm not sure whether it's a good idea...I read a lot of bad things about behringer in general but since i'm new to the digital djing world i'd like to have your advice.

I'm seriously considering getting one of these. Seriously. I'd definitely need to buy the Innofader and replace the crossfader - adding about

Behringer products definitely are hit-or-miss, I agree...

I personally don't avoid them.. I'm skeptical though...

If you see their setup (and what they use it {the bcr's} for) you'd know what you're saying isn't true.

Then at the same time, you have Daft Punk using their gear for their live show haha.

EDIT: If were to use a VCI + External Mixer, I wouldn't go for something like this. The reason is, I'd want a simpler mixer as anything 'complex' would be done on the VCI. I mean, isn't that the whole point?

I'd want my mixer to have a great EQ, high-quality faders, etc., but nothing too fancy as that's where the VCI kicks in. Don't jump in too quickly and save your dollars!

well, we're talking about a budget gear company....and yes, they are hit or miss...sure you get all these features for a good price...but the quality...the quality is just not there - to their defense,your getting a good price....but i wouldnt go near them......and about the daft punk mention -maynbe their getting sponsored by them.....

@Patch: I've see it on Clearance at Guitar Center for as low as 150.00-200.00 US. You should be able to get it without letting go of the Vestax =)

i can also recommend this mixer for the midi capabilities. if you are looking a non-midi mixer i'd advice to look elsewhere.

This mixer is by no means limited. You said for yourself that you didnt use the midi functions. That is the beauty of this mixer! Ive used it both as internal & external mixer in traktor. def better as an internal mixer & using an external audio interface. I Love this mixer for the money.

no problem tekk

yea like i said is a good option...but its also limited and complicated

Thanks dude!

I also heared a dutch guy having quite some positvie feedback, apart from the fact that his jack connector fell into the unit and the Behringer Distributor told him this was a wear and tear, he still loves the unit? :eek:

hye guys i haved tried the Behringer DDM4000 well i only tried as a mixer i couldnt plug it in to a computer because it doesnt have a USB or firewire adapter it only have MIDI adapter so u will need a MIDI INTERFACE so u can plug in to ur computer so thats kind of a turn off but hey u can always get a cheap midi interface for example http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Uno.html i believe they sale it for like 20 bucks so is a good cheap option.

well the effects unit is kind of complicated i spend like at least good 30 mins on the effect section they just way too hard to use and they are the regular effect like flanger,reverb,echo ETC they are not the easiest thing to use so i didnt use while i was trying the unit.

the faders are really good compared to like the BEHRINGER djx 700 i got impress by these im not going to say they are the best quality but they get the job done and the knobs are good they in the point they dont feel that cheap if you're use to use a high quality mixer like the pioneer DJM800 u will feel the diferrence but ofcourse if like comparing Mercedes BENZ and FORD u get my point

oh and almost forgot the output if anyone had a chance to use a djx700 u willl kno what im talking about the output on a DJX700 SUCKSSS they fixx this and the output on this baby way better againg not the best but is way better.

In conclusion im not saying is a bad option for a budget guy but is not the best option that you have out there i will probably save a lil and get like the korg zero 4.

if u want to kno anythyng else just ask thanks

Cool, could you try it?

I want to get an impression on this one, instead of hearing it from regular reviewers.
(Would love to do reviews on these kinds of products. )

With the DDM you can approach the Xone 3D/4D experience (though you'll miss the number of faders + build quality), with a conventional mixer this is not possible...
hey mate i got ur point lol yea is good option for the price and if u want to use with traktor they already have TKS ready so u can use it and yeah my name is a mix between italian and dutch lol

Hi Voltcontrol,

Unfortunately the DDM400 is a bit of a blackbox for the people here. People here are more inclined to pure MIDI controllers instead hybrid mixers.

And thanks for the offer!

Hey maareuh, zoals ik net al in het engels zei, ze letten hier meer op pure MIDI. Kennis hier is dus echt op een heel ander vlak dan wat het andere community betreft.

Maar er zit hier wel een hoop kennis trouwens, (ook mensen die bij de hardware fabrikanten werken. )

I well know how timecode works, but not interested in ITCH, so: No thanks.
I believe you're missing the amazing part here: Which is the amount of midi assignability the DDM 4000 offers for the price.

I would be VERY interested in someones vid of using Traktor with the DDM4000

PS; luigislaperig translates as "luigi sleepy" in Dutch.

(Tekki and I are also members of the really nice www.aboutdj.nl community , which is kind of specialized in digital dj'ing in the Netherlands)

@Tekki
Yeah, I became a member yesterday. I hoped there would be more knowledge here on this topic here, but alas...

I'm probably buying one just to try, If you're interested you can visit me @ Loon op Zand (Or i'll sell you the unit if I dont like it or want to upgrade to a Xone )


#In Dutch:
Ik heb het idee dat het kennispeil hier echt een stuk lager is dan op onze andere stek, maargoed, heb ook nog niet ZO veel gelezen hier. (Gaaf, geheimtaal )

I'm eager to try one. It looks promising!

The price is low, Traktor .tks's are available.....
